Macros?

So, I recently purchased the premium version, so I can track my macros easier. I am highly confused though. I haven't gone over on any of my macros, I'm even under my carbs by 12 and my day by 2. However it says I am over calorie wise by 15. Can anyone offer an explanation for this? Every time I've done it on paper, it ads up correctly, but the app has it off. Any ideas?

    It is likely due to rounding allowances in nutrition facts where the amount of fats, protein, and carbs is more than the amount of calories reported.

    it could also just be inaccurate database entries which are largely user entered.

    Agreed with ryry.

    I'm wondering if someone can input calories different than the sum of the protein, carbs, and fats for some of the database entries.

    On paper are you using a carb = 4 calories, protein = 4 calories, and fat = 9 calories?
